Title: Monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons of pinus mugo
Abstract: The monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons of a commercial sample of Pinus mugo essential oil were isolated by a combination of techniques involving chromatography, distillation and preparative GLC. Eleven monoterpenes were identified by their IR spectra and TLC of their mercuric acetate adducts. IR and mass spectroscopy were employed to identify the following seven sesquiterpenes: β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, γ-muurolene, α-muurolene, α+β-selinene and γ-cadinene. Bornyl acetate was also present as a contaminant among these hydrocarbons.
